Calvery Church Colors

We went to a Church we have never been to. Our oldest son is planning to move to Jonesboro AR and has started going to church there. So we went with him last night and really liked it ( We attend church here in our own town). It was so nice, felt so good and I was looking around at the church and the color really impressed me. Then I keep looking and turned to my husband and said ( it's Perfert Plum, River Rock and Very Vanilla). It really is, so I came home and put the colors together and this is what I came up with. We will be painting our house this coming year and I plan on using all Stampin Up Colors. Wish me luck For this card I used Four the Holidays Stamp Set and card stock is Perfect Plum, River Rock and Very Vanilla also I used Perfect Plum ink. I used the Eyelet Border Punch and added Very Vanilla Ribbon and Pearls. Have a Great Day

Will be doing this a lot while designing new cards, saving my current papers for the cards after I come up with something that I think is a keeper Hope You Like it. Have A Great Day.

Halloween Pumpkins

My first Halloween card this year. Yes for you who don't know there are green and white striped pumpkins, we use only them for our pumpkin pies. My Grandmother called all orange pumpkins hog pumpkins (except the tiny little sugar pie pumpkins) Grand Dad raised the orange pumpkins to keep during the winter to feed the hogs. He keep them in the shed in a big pile of straw, and he loved to take us kids out to show us his hog feed ( Grand father was really great with us kids, I still miss him and it's been 37 years). For this card I used Autumn Harvest stamp set, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, and Bravo Burgundy card stock. I used the Pumpkin Pie ink on the tag I off stamped it twice on scrap paper then on the tag. For the Pumpkins I stamped them in Basic Black then used the Water Color Pencils and the Blender Pens. I added one orange and two black brads, forgot till I had taken the picture that I wanted to add Shimmer Paint Champagne Mist to my card. Hope you like it and HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Faux Mother of Pearl Background

Still do not have my light right or maybe my setting on my camera . I used Of the Earth stamp set (yes I know it's out of date but didn't have a set to do what I wanted to do that was current).
